What to Focus On
- A quadratic polynomial has degree two.
- A quadratic polynomial equated to zero gives a quadratic equation.
- Quadratic equations in this chapter are in one variable.
- Standard form is ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
- Every quadratic equation can be written in standard form.
- The coefficients are a, b, and c.
- A root is a value that makes the equation true.
- Zeroes of a quadratic polynomial correspond to roots of the quadratic equation.
- A quadratic equation has at most two roots.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Any equation with x² is automatically a quadratic equation.
An equation is quadratic only if it is already written as ax^2 + bx + c = 0 in the exact order.
The leading coefficient in standard form must be positive, so only equations with a > 0 are acceptable.
